摘要

In accord with the Drude model, the free-carrier contribution to the dielectric function at infrared wavelengths is proportional to the ratio of the free-carrier concentration N and the effective mass m, and the product of the optical mobility μ and m. Typical infrared optical experiments are therefore sensitive to the free-carrier mass, but determination of m from the measured dielectric function requkes an independent experiment, such as an electrical Hall-effect measurement, which provides either N or μ. However, doped zincblende Ⅲ-Ⅴ-semiconductors exposed to a strong external magnetic field exhibit non-symmetric magneto-optical (MO) birefringence, which is inversely proportional to m. Therefore, if the spectral dependence of the MO dielectric function tensor is known, the parameters N, μ and m can be determined independently from optical measurements alone. Generalized Ellipsometry (GE) measures three complex-valued ratios of normalized Jones matrix elements, from which the individual tensor elements of the dielectric function of arbitrarily anisotropic materials in layered samples can be reconstructed. We present the application of GE at far-infrared (FIR) wavelengths for measurement of the FIR-MO-GE parameters, and determine the MO dielectric function of GaAs for wavelengths from 100 μm to 15 μm. We obtain the free electron mass and mobility results in excellent agreement with results obtained from Hall-effect and Shubnikov-de-Haas experiments. (F)IR-MO-GE may open up new avenues for non-destructive characterization of free-carrier properties in complex semiconductor heterostructures.
